Just a little TASTE to hold you over! 😋

We’re a little over a week away from TASTE: The New Old Fashioned! Swipe for a sample of some of this year's incredible artists bringing the flavor to Nelson's Green Brier Distillery on October 18. Come hungry, bring your friends, and join us for an evening of good food, great drinks, and a community worth celebrating.

Let's be real: This year has been tough for many LGBTQ+ non-profits and showing up for each other matters. There’s never been a better time to support your local q***r owned and allied business community (or a more delicious way to do it).

A little indulgence. A lot of impact. Get your tickets today at the link below! 🥃
